The wedding festivities began on Friday. Rajinikanth's family hosted a pre-wedding reception at Chennai’s Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam to kick-start the nuptials.

The private ceremony had only family members and close friends in attendance. Soundarya took to social media to share inside pictures from the reception. Going by the videos and pictures, it appears that the Rajinikanth and Vanangamudi families had a gala time.

Videos and pictures from the functions have gone viral on social media in which Rajinikanth can be seen dancing to some of his popular songs.

Notably, Soundarya started her career as a graphic designer and went on work on films like Baba, Majaa, Sivaji and Kochadaiiyaan. Meanwhile, Vishagan, the son of SS Vanangamudi, Founder of Apex Laboratories Pvt Ltd, a Chennai-based pharmaceutical giant, made his acting debut in 2018 with Tamil thriller Vanjagar Ulagam. This is both their second marriage.

Soundarya previously married industrialist Ashwin Ramkumar in 2010. However, she filed for divorce in December 2016, citing irreconcilable differences. She has a son with Ashwin, named Ved Krishna, who lives with her.
